They gonna help you find one? Fuck no.
What about Smitty? - What about him? - He got a job yet? Why do you keep asking that? Well, I just wanna make sure he can take care of you.
I can take care of him, you know.
It's 2018, not 1820.
Right.
Yeah, sorry.
[EXHALES FORCEFULLY.]
Two bedrooms.

New York, New York, New York.
It's a wonderful town.
The Bronx is up and the Battery's down The people ride in a hole in the ground I love this fucking town.
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
Yeah.
Are you at The Peninsula yet? [RAY.]
Almost.
All right, well, as of five minutes ago, Crane was still in the shower.
Got it.
All right, I'll see you there.

It's Ray.
Who? Ray Donovan.
Thought Lena was coming.
Where's the thing? In my pocket.
Right.
It's all there.
How well do you know Lena? What? Do you guys ever talk? You know, personally? No.
[JUSTINE MOANING ON RECORDING.]
So she's never mentioned me outside of this job, huh? No.
I used to model back in LA.
We dated then.
I hadn't heard from her in a while, and I thought maybe [SIGHS.]
But it was just this job, huh? I'll tell her you said hi.

Looks absolutely nothing like you.
Thank God.

I have a playpen for the baby, however.
Now, let Auntie Sandy see that girl.
Cootchie-coo.
[SANDY LAUGHS.]
Yeah! Yeah! Hi! Oh, about time the Donovans produced another female, eh? Yeah, she's a keeper.
I'd say so.
I bet this little one is hungry.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fucking kidding me, Pop? Don't let her fool you.
Sandy is skilled.
She don't miss nothing.
Watch her eyes.
[BUNCHY.]
You okay? Listen to me, son.
I gotta get this thing started.
You stay here.
Help Maria get settled in.
What if shit goes wrong out there, Pop? Don't worry.
[MOODY MUSIC.]
Mr.
Donovan.
- Oh, thanks.
- Here you go.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[DARYLL.]
'Toine, man, you didn't tell me it was gonna be like this, bruh! Huh? Bam! Antoine, I mean, come on! What? Why y'all look like your girls just broke up with you, man? - What's up? - [ANTOINE.]
What's up? The cost of this production, Daryll.
That's what's up.
O-okay, all right, what-what's-what's happening? What was shooting call, - 2 1/2 hours ago? - Two and a half.
Two and a half hours ago.
You didn't get a call sheet? Yeah, I'm-I'm sure I did.
You know, man So - So? - So produce me a motherfucking actor to photograph, please.
- Okay, uh - Yeah.
- He in his trailer? - He's in his trailer.
You should go talk to him.
That's your job.
- No, I'll handle it.
- I know you will.
Thank you very much.
Hey.
Welcome to the entertainment industry! [DISTANT SIREN WAILING.]
[FUNKY MUSIC.]
Yo, Jay, what up, man? It's Daryll.
Hey, hey, bro, you almost ready? Jay! They always set me off The fuck? Hey, bro.
Black man come home from killing the yellow man for the white man, his mind, Daryll his mind is changed.
He's a new man, and he needs a new gun.
The M16 would trigger PTSD.
He needs a different gun, a new gun an Uzi.
Not this bullshit that Antoine is asking me to perform with.
Yo, Jay, we gotta Hey, how the fuck stupid are you? I'm stupid? Yo, Parker, man, what the fuck, bro? What took you so long, man? Oh, sorry, Mr.
Donovan.
Uzis are not easy to come by.
Ooh-ooh! My nigga.
Get your ass in here.
[JAY.]
Peruvian? [PARKER.]
Colombian.
[JAY.]
Ooh.
[SNIFFS.]
Parker, a black man came home from serving his country.
Did Uncle Sam give a flying fuck? Offer him any kind of support? Any medication for his tortured mind? Hmm? - Huh? - No.
- Hell no.
- Yeah.
He had to fend for himself.
Respect.
[SNORTING.]
Oh, yeah Yeah [SIGHS.]
Hey, how you doing? What's up? Yo.
Yo, Jay, yo, what happened to all the Uzi stuff? Why the fuck would a soldier familiar with the innerworkings of a rifle suddenly switch to a different gat? This is my rifle.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend.
It is my life.
I'm the talent, motherfucker.
Even when I'm wrong, I'm right.
Now, let's shoot this fucking scene.
[MOODY MUSIC.]
[CROWD CHEERING.]
Mr.
Lucky's an original FeatureFlix production.
We own it outright.
You know what that means? No.
It means that I need Jay White to do his fucking job.
I hear that he has decided to go method with his character and is acquiring bad habits at a remarkable rate.
I'll stop by set tomorrow and talk to Daryll.
[CAMILA.]
So as junior prosecutor, you led the fraud and embezzlement case against the Liberty Street Seven.
[ANITA.]
Like I said, my father was a sanitation worker, so I know how to take out the trash.
[CAMILA.]
Our current mayor, Ed Ferrati he's famously tough on crime.
How do you think you'll match up tonight? Ed Feratti's tough-on-crime policies? Stop and frisk? Arrest quotas? I have no interest in matching up.
Crime is a grassroots issue.
You fight crime with better education, job creation, community enrichment.
[CAMILA.]
You're the people's candidate? [ANITA.]
Yes.
If elected mayor, I'll make sure that every family, every kid in this great city of ours has the tools that they need to be their best.
The polls still have her ten points behind.
So the bag's in my office.
My assistant's waiting for you.
[CAMILA.]
Anita Novak, thank you so much for being here with us.
- All right.
- [CAMILA.]
Stay tuned.
Chef Justin's gonna teach us how to make beignets.
We'll be right back.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[DISQUIETING MUSIC.]
[LINE RINGS.]
I got the tickets.
[MAC.]
I fucking owe you, man.
Ah, Jimmy's gonna love that.
[RAY.]
Don't worry about it.
Do you want me to come by, pick 'em up? No, I'll bring them when I come.
- You're coming? - Sure.
Hey, did you hear anything from your guy at the bureau? Your dad's gifted, Ray.
He's a fucking ghost.
He'll slip.
He always does.
I'll check in again.
All right.
See you later.
- Hey.
- Hey.
You, uh, get a table? Justine says thank you.
You're welcome.
[CHICKEN CLUCKING.]
Happy hour.
Piña coladas and chow mein half price.
No, thank you, sweetheart.
I'm here to see Old Man Au.
He was the proprietor of this fine establishment.
You know him? Au! [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Au [SPEAKING CHINESE.]
[LAUGHTER.]
Yeah? I'm here to see Charlie Au.
Don't know you.
I don't know you, but I do know Charlie Au.
We spent some time together on the inside, if you know what I mean.
You're talking about my grandfather.
There's the monster.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah, the monster's dead.
Pulmonary embolism.
I'm sorry to hear that.
He was a hell of a cigarette smuggler.
We ran laundry together for a spell at Walpole.
That was a good racket.
Well, have a piña colada on me, all right? Hey, hold up.
Hold on.
Are you in the same, uh, line of business as your grandfather? What, cigarette smuggling? He was doing a dime for gun running.
I now find myself in need of that very service.
Since speaking out, there's been some backlash.
Death threats.
I consider myself a brave man, but this this is a cross too heavy to bear.
I stand by what I said, but in light of some people's violent reactions, I plan to leave New York until things blow over.
That work? Sure.
That's 25.
You-you'll get the rest in Mexico.
Get him to Hunter by five.
I'll meet you there.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
- Yeah.
- Hey, got pinged by my contact.
[RAY.]
And? And they got a report of someone seeing your old man and your brother at a gas station near Akron.
Car? Buick, stolen in Tucson.
Now, look, it ain't definite, but it's the only lead they got.
All right, thanks.
Can I help you with something? Forty-five minutes into tonight's debate, you're gonna steer the conversation - towards racism.
- Who are you? And you're gonna call on Cesar Martinez.
He'll be house left in a light green polo.
Why the hell would I do that? Because you love your wife and kids.
[JUSTINE MOANING ON RECORDING.]
[DARK MUSIC.]
The-the questions are chosen well in advance.
Everyone's vetted, and Cesar Martinez.
I need you to repeat it back.
You can't do this.
Repeat it back to me.
[MOANING CONTINUES.]
Cesar Martinez.
So we understand each other? Good.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
[MAN.]
Lock it down, people.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
Jay! We love you, Jay! Check's in the mail, baby! [CHEERING CONTINUES.]
- [MAN.]
We love you, man! - [WOMAN.]
Love you, Jay! [CHEERING CONTINUES.]
[WOMAN.]
Jay, I love you! - [MAN.]
You the best! - [WOMAN.]
Whoo-hoo! [MAN.]
He did it! [WOMAN.]
Thanks, Jay! [CHEERING CONTINUES.]
[WOMAN.]
Can I be in one of your movies? [MAN.]
Love you, Jay! [WOMAN.]
Hey, you.
Hey, mister.
Are you anyone important in this movie? Eh, Jay White just shoots me, and I die.
[CHEERING CONTINUES.]
Terry Donovan? It depends.
Who's asking? Big Easy.
I ain't from New Orleans, but I'm laid-back as fuck, - so it stuck.
- Yeah? What do you want? Saw you fight, uh, Chuy Gomez in the Garden.
What was it, '96? - Ninety-five.
- You still move pretty good.
You ever think about fighting again? Look at me.
Mm, you know, never too old to crack a few skulls and make a little extra scratch.
Check it out.
It's the kind of place you might dig, man.
It's going down tonight.
Sure as hell beats hitting that bag.
All right, background! Action! You crazy? Abdul, please! Please.
Beaucoup dinky dau? This ain't no Dien Bien Phu.
I saw this little gook carrying his wife's dead body down in his motherfucking hands, and when I say dead body, I mean just a fucking body, 'cause there was no head.
You dig? Fucked with the wrong nigga, nigga, and so you're just gonna have to kiss my black ass! [GRUNTING.]
[JAY LAUGHING.]
Whoo! Oh, fuck, man! [JAY LAUGHS.]
Oh, tell me y'all got that shit.
- Cut.
- [JAY.]
Yo! Tell me you got that shit.
Oh! [MAN.]
Going again.
[JAY LAUGHS.]
Ah, shit! Y'all saw that shit, right? Oh! [DOG BARKING.]
[SIGHS.]
How do I look? Like-like Sister Mary Agnes.
Was she good-looking? Uh handsome, I guess, when she wasn't, you know, rapping my fingers with a ruler.
Nuns snakes with tits, all of them.
I want you to come with me.
This waterbed is heated.
It's good for the joints, amongst other things, if you catch my drift.
[LAUGHS.]
Happy to share.
Yeah, I'm fine on the floor.
[SIGHS.]
Suit yourself.
[CLOSET DOOR CREAKS.]
So, uh how far back you go with Mick? We grew up together.
It's how I met your Uncle Cormac.
Ah.
This should fit.
I married Cormac two weeks before he was deployed.
Vietnam wasn't kind to poor Irish boys.
Cormac died, I remarried, so Mickey and I just lost touch.
Don't be shy.
Let's try it on.
Come on.
And I want every New Yorker to rest assured, we are working around the clock with the sanitation union to put an end to this strike and get the streets clean again.
That is a promise.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
I'd like to switch gears.
We've seen, more and more, a nation and city divided.
The theme of this segment of our town hall is race, and our next question comes from a Mr.
Cesar Martinez.
Um, Mr.
, uh, Feratti? You'll remember me as your personal driver between the years of 2012 and 2015.
Yes, I do, Cesar.
And during that time, I often heard you use derogatory language to describe minorities.
Jews were cheap, Hispanics were lazy, blacks were dumb, and personally, that my character was impressive as a Mexican born into poverty.
You often commented with surprise that I, an uneducated wetback from Guanajuato, was consistently ten minutes early to work.
- [FERATTI.]
Okay - [CESAR.]
So my question is this: with your history of racial biases, why do you believe that you're the best candidate in a city as diverse as New York? - Mr.
Martinez - [FERATTI.]
Uh, that-that is inaccurate.
I'm so sorry, Mr.
Martinez.
New York is the heartbeat of America.
No matter your race, your religion, your sexual orientation, or your country of origin, you're welcome here.
[APPLAUSE.]
Mr.
Martinez, - your story is devastating.
- You know, i-in my first term, - I passed - It's unacceptable.
Excuse me, sir.
- at least 23 different - Sir, no.
Mm-mm.
The time for interrupting women is over.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
[ANTOINE.]
Yo, Jay, come on, man.
It's a lovely cock sock.
Shit is wrinkly.
Mr.
Lucky ain't got no wrinkly dick.
Wait, 'Toine, whoa, whoa.
What-what's a cock sock? So a cock sock is what we're gonna use to cover his junk for the upcoming sex scene.
It's off-camera, though.
Of course it's off-camera, Daryll.
I'm not making a fucking porno.
Man, watch out, man.
Yo, Jay! K'Lei has been ready for 35 minutes.
I-I really don't think she gives a fuck if Mr.
Lucky's dick is wrinkly or not! You wear the shit, Romeo.
A-Antoine, man, you-you gotta - talk to him, man.
- This is your job.
This is your job.
You're the producer, okay? - Yo, Parker, man.
- Yeah? Yo No, no, no, no.
- Enough, enough.
- Hey, hey [DARYLL.]
No, enough.
Enough, man.
[ANTOINE.]
Yo, chill, chill, chill.
You need an intervention, B.
Ow! The fuck, man? Hey! [TOILET FLUSHES.]
[DARYLL.]
I'm trying to help you! You need help! [YELLS.]
[BOTH SHOUTING.]
- Calm the fuck down! - Get the fuck off me, man.
- Come on.
- Use your heads! Come on, motherfucker! Come on, motherfucker.
Come on, motherfucker.
- Use your fucking head! - Come on! Get the fuck off me.
Get your hands off me, man.
- [MAN.]
Relax, motherfucker.
- [DARYLL.]
No, you relax! [MAN.]
Calm the fuck down! - Fucking fight everybody out here! - [MAN.]
Fucking asshole.
You too.
[MAN.]
Fucking asshole.
Way to go, Daryll.
Just cost production another three hours.
[FUNKY MUSIC.]
[SIGHS.]
[LAUGHING SOFTLY.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Okay, now.
[LAUGHS.]
You good? I mean, you got-got everything you need? I need to stop being number two on the call sheet.
Other than that, yeah, I'm chill.
I hear you.
Are we gonna shoot this thing or what? Yeah, I mean [MAN.]
Ladies and gentlemen, that is a wrap.
We will start with scene 58 tomorrow, 8 a.
m.
Look, I'm-I'm sorry.
I mean, you got all dressed up for nothing A crooked log makes a good fire.
A crooked log what? Situation like this, the producer's job isn't to be his star's enemy.
It's to become his enabler.
You feel me? [SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You'll get this when you touch down in Guanajuato.
My associate will need your passport in exchange.
We'll send it back to you once the election's over.
And the posts I sent already went viral, so I'll dump another batch from JFK and upload his statement to Facebook.
All right.
[CELL PHONE CHIMES.]
You look just like Cormac.
Holy moly! I got that Catholic schoolgirl itch all over again.
[CHUCKLES.]
Come.
Stand there.
Smile.
Good.
That wasn't so bad.
What about Maria? Her new name is Libby Halloran.
You, me, and Mick, we run St.
Paul's Orphanage.
We found a home for Libby in Montreal.
Got all the appropriate paperwork coming to get us across the border.
[CESAR ON TV.]
Since speaking out, there's been some backlash, threats.
I consider myself a brave man, but this this is a cross too heavy to bear.
I stand by what I said, but in light Is it true? [CESAR.]
I plan to leave New York.
It'll check out.
But is it true? Right now, Cesar Martinez is probably over the Gulf of Mexico on his way to Guanajuato with no way to get back.
[MAN.]
What would you like, ma'am? - What he's having.
- Coming right up.
I hear your daughter is gonna work for the campaign.
Yeah, she needs an internship for school.
[TV ANCHOR.]
Ed Feratti's personal driver You have other kids? A son.
Where's he? Marines.
Shipping off for Germany soon.
[TV ANCHOR.]

[CESAR ON TV.]
So my question is this: with your history of racial biases Tonight you should've asked me if that's how I wanted to play this.
[LIGHT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS.]
I don't work for you.
Right.
[ANITA ON TV.]
I am so sorry.
We all work for Sam Winslow.
"Excellent at exaction.
" That's how she described you.
Sure.
You know what I think? [TV ANCHOR.]
Just one man's claims I think you're excellent at a lot of things, Ray.
[TV ANCHOR.]
Seems like it may be a while Well it's been real.
[TV ANCHOR.]
We'll be back after this short break.
[FUNKY MUSIC PLAYING ON STEREO.]
[LAUGHING.]
My Nigga, fuck you.
Yo, hold on.

[JAY LAUGHS.]
[CELL PHONE RINGS.]
[SIGHS.]
Hey, Dad.
[RAY.]
Hey, sweetheart.
I talked to Sam Winslow.
She said she can get you an internship working on Anita Novak's campaign.
I didn't ask you to do that.
I know you didn't ask me to.
I just thought I'd help you out.
What's the big deal? Thanks, Dad.
[LINE BLIPS.]
Hey, Bridge, I gotta go.
Uh, I'll text you the address.
They said you can start tomorrow.
Okay.
Bye.
Bye.
Yeah? [MAC.]
Don't even bother coming.

Okay? They ran late.

Black man come home from killing the yellow man for the white man, his mind, Daryll his mind is changed.
He's a new man, and he needs a new gun.
The M16 would trigger PTSD.
He needs a different gun, a new gun an Uzi.
Not this bullshit that Antoine is asking me to perform with.
Yo, Jay, we gotta Hey, how the fuck stupid are you? I'm stupid? Yo, Parker, man, what the fuck, bro? What took you so long, man? Oh, sorry, Mr.

Yo, Jay, yo, what happened to all the Uzi stuff? Why the fuck would a soldier familiar with the innerworkings of a rifle suddenly switch to a different gat? This is my rifle.
There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend.
It is my life.
I'm the talent, motherfucker.
Even when I'm wrong, I'm right.
Now, let's shoot this fucking scene.
[MOODY MUSIC.]
[CROWD CHEERING.]
Mr.
Lucky's an original FeatureFlix production.
We own it outright.
You know what that means? No.
It means that I need Jay White to do his fucking job.
I hear that he has decided to go method with his character and is acquiring bad habits at a remarkable rate.
I'll stop by set tomorrow and talk to Daryll.
[CAMILA.]
So as junior prosecutor, you led the fraud and embezzlement case against the Liberty Street Seven.
[ANITA.]
Like I said, my father was a sanitation worker, so I know how to take out the trash.
[CAMILA.]
Our current mayor, Ed Ferrati he's famously tough on crime.
How do you think you'll match up tonight? Ed Feratti's tough-on-crime policies? Stop and frisk? Arrest quotas? I have no interest in matching up.
Crime is a grassroots issue.
You fight crime with better education, job creation, community enrichment.
[CAMILA.]
You're the people's candidate? [ANITA.]
Yes.
If elected mayor, I'll make sure that every family, every kid in this great city of ours has the tools that they need to be their best.
The polls still have her ten points behind.
So the bag's in my office.
My assistant's waiting for you.
[CAMILA.]

He was the proprietor of this fine establishment.
You know him? Au! [INDISTINCT CHATTER.]

Yeah? I'm here to see Charlie Au.
Don't know you.
I don't know you, but I do know Charlie Au.
We spent some time together on the inside, if you know what I mean.
You're talking about my grandfather.
There's the monster.
[LAUGHS.]
Yeah, the monster's dead.
Pulmonary embolism.
I'm sorry to hear that.
He was a hell of a cigarette smuggler.
We ran laundry together for a spell at Walpole.
That was a good racket.
Well, have a piña colada on me, all right? Hey, hold up.
Hold on.
Are you in the same, uh, line of business as your grandfather? What, cigarette smuggling? He was doing a dime for gun running.
I now find myself in need of that very service.
Since speaking out, there's been some backlash.
Death threats.
I consider myself a brave man, but this this is a cross too heavy to bear.
I stand by what I said, but in light of some people's violent reactions, I plan to leave New York until things blow over.
That work? Sure.
That's 25.
You-you'll get the rest in Mexico.
Get him to Hunter by five.
I'll meet you there.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]

Car? Buick, stolen in Tucson.
Now, look, it ain't definite, but it's the only lead they got.
All right, thanks.
Can I help you with something? Forty-five minutes into tonight's debate, you're gonna steer the conversation - towards racism.
- Who are you? And you're gonna call on Cesar Martinez.
He'll be house left in a light green polo.
Why the hell would I do that? Because you love your wife and kids.
[JUSTINE MOANING ON RECORDING.]

[CHEERING CONTINUES.]
Terry Donovan? It depends.
Who's asking? Big Easy.
I ain't from New Orleans, but I'm laid-back as fuck, - so it stuck.
- Yeah? What do you want? Saw you fight, uh, Chuy Gomez in the Garden.
What was it, '96? - Ninety-five.
- You still move pretty good.
You ever think about fighting again? Look at me.
Mm, you know, never too old to crack a few skulls and make a little extra scratch.
Check it out.
It's the kind of place you might dig, man.
It's going down tonight.
Sure as hell beats hitting that bag.
All right, background! Action! You crazy? Abdul, please! Please.
Beaucoup dinky dau? This ain't no Dien Bien Phu.
I saw this little gook carrying his wife's dead body down in his motherfucking hands, and when I say dead body, I mean just a fucking body, 'cause there was no head.
You dig? Fucked with the wrong nigga, nigga, and so you're just gonna have to kiss my black ass! [GRUNTING.]
[JAY LAUGHING.]
Whoo! Oh, fuck, man! [JAY LAUGHS.]
Oh, tell me y'all got that shit.

[JAY LAUGHS.]
Ah, shit! Y'all saw that shit, right? Oh! [DOG BARKING.]

How do I look? Like-like Sister Mary Agnes.
Was she good-looking? Uh handsome, I guess, when she wasn't, you know, rapping my fingers with a ruler.
Nuns snakes with tits, all of them.
I want you to come with me.
This waterbed is heated.
It's good for the joints, amongst other things, if you catch my drift.
[LAUGHS.]
Happy to share.
Yeah, I'm fine on the floor.
[SIGHS.]
Suit yourself.
[CLOSET DOOR CREAKS.]
So, uh how far back you go with Mick? We grew up together.
It's how I met your Uncle Cormac.
Ah.
This should fit.
I married Cormac two weeks before he was deployed.
Vietnam wasn't kind to poor Irish boys.
Cormac died, I remarried, so Mickey and I just lost touch.
Don't be shy.
Let's try it on.
Come on.
And I want every New Yorker to rest assured, we are working around the clock with the sanitation union to put an end to this strike and get the streets clean again.
That is a promise.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]
I'd like to switch gears.
We've seen, more and more, a nation and city divided.
The theme of this segment of our town hall is race, and our next question comes from a Mr.
Cesar Martinez.
Um, Mr.
, uh, Feratti? You'll remember me as your personal driver between the years of 2012 and 2015.
Yes, I do, Cesar.
And during that time, I often heard you use derogatory language to describe minorities.
Jews were cheap, Hispanics were lazy, blacks were dumb, and personally, that my character was impressive as a Mexican born into poverty.
You often commented with surprise that I, an uneducated wetback from Guanajuato, was consistently ten minutes early to work.
- [FERATTI.]
Okay - [CESAR.]
So my question is this: with your history of racial biases, why do you believe that you're the best candidate in a city as diverse as New York? - Mr.
Martinez - [FERATTI.]
Uh, that-that is inaccurate.
I'm so sorry, Mr.
Martinez.
New York is the heartbeat of America.
No matter your race, your religion, your sexual orientation, or your country of origin, you're welcome here.
[APPLAUSE.]
Mr.
Martinez, - your story is devastating.
- You know, i-in my first term, - I passed - It's unacceptable.
Excuse me, sir.
- at least 23 different - Sir, no.
Mm-mm.
The time for interrupting women is over.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE.]

Yo, Jay, come on, man.
It's a lovely cock sock.
Shit is wrinkly.
Mr.

Wait, 'Toine, whoa, whoa.
What-what's a cock sock? So a cock sock is what we're gonna use to cover his junk for the upcoming sex scene.
It's off-camera, though.
Of course it's off-camera, Daryll.
I'm not making a fucking porno.
Man, watch out, man.
Yo, Jay! K'Lei has been ready for 35 minutes.
I-I really don't think she gives a fuck if Mr.
Lucky's dick is wrinkly or not! You wear the shit, Romeo.
A-Antoine, man, you-you gotta - talk to him, man.

This is your job.
You're the producer, okay? - Yo, Parker, man.

A crooked log what? Situation like this, the producer's job isn't to be his star's enemy.
It's to become his enabler.
You feel me? [SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
You'll get this when you touch down in Guanajuato.
My associate will need your passport in exchange.
We'll send it back to you once the election's over.
And the posts I sent already went viral, so I'll dump another batch from JFK and upload his statement to Facebook.
